From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Justus Vingboons (or Vinckboons, Vinckeboons) (c. 1620-c. 1698) was an Amsterdam architect. He was the brother of the better-known architect Philips Vingboons. Like his brother, Justus built in the "Dutch Classicism" style.
His most important work is Kloveniersburgwal 29 (the Trippenhuis), in which Dutch Classicism finds its purest and richest expression. The entire sandstone front has been give very detailed decoration and has eight colossal Corinthian pilasters.
Examples of other houses attributed to Justus Vingboons include Herengracht 257 (1661) and Herengracht 390-392 (1665).
